Konnikova Eliminated Again; Di Giacomo Jams Up Stack

The seat of Maria Konnikova was empty and Josip Simunic confirmed that he had taken the remaining chips of the PokerStars ambassador. "I three-bet to 7,000 and she shoved for 17,000. I called with ace-ten, she had jacks and I got there," the Austrian said. Simunic moved to a comfortable stack well above the average.

Even more chips currently belong to Aleksandr Sheshukov and Claudio Di Giacomo, who clashed in a bigger pot.

Di Giacomo's raise in the cutoff was three-bet to 8,500 by Sheshukov on the button and the small blind called, as did Di Giacomo. On the flop, the small blind bet 12,000 and picked up two calls before checking the turn. Di Giacomo called as well and Sheshukov made it 20,000 to go, which only the Italian called.
